Adapters

[Former Member]

If you have an SAP system WAS 7.0 and an XI/PI system 7.0 then what scenarios you can you practise?

With these systems is it possible to practise:

File, XI, RFC and IDOC obviously yes

But what about:

JMS

JDBC

SOAP

HTTP

MAIL

Is it possible to practise with these? If so could you possibly tell me for each how to do this... for example with JDBC can I use say Excel... or Access?

Any blogs refering to simple ways to use these adapters would also be useful

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes of course...

With JDBC I believe Acces would work

SOAP as well as what Michal said about exposing an RFC as a webservice you can also find a few free webservices on the net.

JMS i'm not so sure

MAIL again send to any mail client

HTTP there are some free tools that enable you to send and receive this way

RFC, IDOC, XI and File as you mention are obvious

I hope this helps

Hi,

for JMS, you will have to see which is the messaging server you want to communicate with XI......Then you will have to update the JMS jar file of XI so that it can communicate wiht your msg server which may be IBM MQseries 5.2, 5.3 etc...

OK but what I am saying is that I canot try JMS without another message broker... so is there a free message broker that I can use XI to communicate with?

Hi,

Yes it is possible. Check this weblog:

Hi,

>>>JMS

JDBC

SOAP

HTTP

MAIL

mail - sure you can send from XI to any mail

http - sure you can receive HTTP calls in XI

SOAP - you can enable any RFC in WAS with SOAP

jdbc- you can use access easily
